Broken Vow

let your
yes be yes

and your
no be no

Jesus said it
Matthew 5:37

that teaching has
been lost

everyone flounders
nowadays

wafflers, just like
that one politician

hypocrisy
from the Greek

hupokrisis
meaning pretense

an intentional
deception

a feigned excuse
unreliable vows

I, for one, hate
hypocrites

besides
this isn't (really) a poem
